Let's start this thread with a survey. In a patriotic way :
Czech republic is a traditional tram power.
CKD Praha tram division had been world's largest tram producer +/- in 1960-1990.
CKD trams are still to see in all European ex-communist countries except Poland.
The fame of CKD trams is over, but czech tram producers play an important role in world market (Inekon Ostrava company supplies trams for tram network in Seattle, for exapmle) again.
In 2008 there work 7 tram networks in the Czech republic, incl. all cities popluated 100,000+. Well, 6 of them in country total...
Tram networks in Czech rep.:
Praha; pop 1,190,000
26 day and 9 night lines; 141 km of tracks
Brno; pop 370,000
13 lines; 70 km of tracks
Ostrava; pop 310,000
14 day and 2 night lines; 66 km of tracks
Plzeň; pop 165,000
3 lines; 18 km of tracks
Olomouc pop 105,000
5 lines; 14 km of tracks
Liberec pop 105,000
4 lines; 22 km of tracks (one line goes to neighbour town of Jablonec, pop 44,000)
Most pop 70,000 and Litvinov pop 25,000
common network; 5 lines; 15 km of tracks
Cancelled tram networks in a pasthno::
Bohumín
České Budějovice; replaced by trolley-buses
Český Těšín
Jablonec nad Nisou; 1 line connecting Jablonec with Liberec works as a part of Liberec network
Jihlava; replaced by trolley-buses
Mariánské Lázně; replaced by trolley-buses
Opava; replaced by trolley-buses
Teplice; replaced by trolley-buses
Ústí nad Labem; replaced by trolley-buses
P.S.:
Czech rep. is also a trolley-bus power. Historyworks, would you find it reasonable to add trolley-buses issue under this thread? Or, eventually, to make it's own thread?

Do not hesitate, if you find an interesting topic
. Kokpit calls this forum deserted, so any cactus is welcomed...It logically is. In paradox, legislative defines trolley-bus as a "trackbed". Trolley-buses do not have vehicle license number for example and in matter of administrative are understood the same way as trams.
Yes. Nowadays, there are Skoda, Tatra and Inekon tram producers in the Czech republic as far as I know. T3 is one general model which has several semi-models or versions... 15,000 T3 in the world... that sounds as a reasonable number; where did you find this info anyway?
Let allow occasional discuss on trolley-bus issue in this thread
, o.k.?
btw I should say you produce really good trams ..the only decent we have by now are Czech
^^
I was first with this news on 30 April! :banana:

(But I admit you will always be a better source than me HiRazor!)
So is 17T the bidirectional version? With air-conditioning Skoda can have a big potential market for this in three Australian cities if they do their marketing right. Sydney and Adelaide will be needing more lowfloor trams and Melbourne has to replace hundreds of old high-floors to comply with accessibility legislation. We need a demo model out here.

^^ Thats great news for Skoda.
Note that Riga does not have metro and so Trams are its primary focus in rail transport.
Prague Tram extension to Radlicka metro station is progressing nicely.

^^ Obelixx, interesting questions. I was able to find some answers.
Longest line in Prague is Line 3 with the length more than 40 kilometers. And probably the most scenic tram line in Prague is Line 22 with which you can see Square of the Peace, Prague Castle, National Theatre, Hvezda Summer Palace and much more. But if you are looking for naturally scenic route, then hopefully someone from the Liberec region can enlighten us.

How long is Herten - Krefeld (Ruhrgebiet, right?)?
Overland, hmmm:
In Prague, line 22 Bila Hora - Nadrazi Hostivar is supposed to be most picturesque.
In Brno, line 11 Bystrc - Lesna, Certova rokle probably the one to recommend
In Ostrava, line 9 Poruba, Vresinska - Nova Hut is literally overlad. Troppau Silesia - Moravia - Teschen Silesia in few kilometres,
...In Olomouc, line 4, Pavlovičky area my favourite
In Liberec all of them probably as the town is hilly everywhere
Most-Litvínov inter-town line accross the Chemopetrol refinery so far recommended
!!Plzeň line 1 Slovany - Bolevec probably, but am not sure, if it is the best one.
The tram in Bad Schandau is spectacular :cheers:. I did not know it works there, though I ve been to Hřensko border crossing few times...
The longest line is supposed to be line 3 in Prague:
23,414 km following vlak-bus.cz
(those 40 km mentioned is with return ticket
).Also lines 17, 22 and 26 are over 20 kilometres.
What's the yellow plan on the map? Metro?I am also adding extension of Radlicka tram line map. The extension construction images are above.
